SPRING CLEAN
vacuuming the house. mowing the lawn
wonder how many
subatomic particles amongst
all the grass, dust and, fluff?
better make
a really good job of it
before the Higgs Bosun field
decides to
do its worst to me
(the more
stuff we discover
the scarier it gets)
false hopes false dreams
pyramids of false assumptions
everything we thought
provisional at best
vacuuming the house hoping
not to throw into thrall
any off-kilter false vacuum
moving slowly,
carefully,
seemingly static
observing every
margin of safety
way below
the devastatingly instantaneous
speed of light itself
